O. at Kennewick, Wash. under act of March 3. 1879 ECOOMIC HIGHLIGHTS - Newsweek’s business expert, Ralph Robey. makes the interesting obser vation that in recent years there has been a somewhat remarkable “shift in the terms in which busi nmmen think of the tuture. They used to talk of ‘prosperity.’ Now, my apologies to Secretary Morgenthau, it is: ‘Does it help recovery?’ ” The figures seem to justify this change in -terms. Mr. Robey has gone back over the charts and found that during the past six years we have had recovery close to half of the time—that, in 34 out of those 72 months there was a measurable Improvement over the month im mediately preceding. But we have never had anything honestly re sembling prosperity. The Federal Reserve Board’s six-year high was reached in 1937, when business av eraged 10 percent above that old standby of normality, the 1923-25 average. But if allowance is made for changing times and trends, the index would have to be at least 25 percent above 1923-25 to really indicate even a modest prosperity. Mr. Robey then goes on to say that business’ apparent lack of faith in soon attaining prosperity, as against recovery, “arises not be .cause the basic objectives of the New Deal are unattainable. Rather, it arises because of needless dim culties. They are reprinted here, in abbreviated form. for the reason that they cover the problems which loom largest in the eyes of indus trial leaders. l. The Wagner Act, no matter how sincere and sound the motive under lying it, has caused a great deal of trouble, and even organized labor, judging by views expressed in for mal labor union resolutions, object to much of it. ' 2. We .have as yet done nothing tangible to solve the railroad prob lem or create a workable railroad policy. 3. Due to the lack of a positive utility policy, this immensely im portant industry “doesn't know whether it’s going or coming.” 4. Our agricultural policy has perpetuated rather than solve the farm problem. 5. The President's insistence on retaining emergency powers over money breeds uncertainty. 6. Our tax system is “unjust, un economic and almost hopelessly complicated.” 7. We have imposed so many un'- necessary burdens on the capital markets that ‘m-bearing capital is almost unavailable)! Not every expert will agree with all of these views. Some may mini mise most or all or them. But, as said before, they come very close to reflecting the opinion of artim late business, both big and little. 'l'hereisagrowingschool otlegisla tors who have become convinced that we’ll never bet anywhere until definite, conservative action is taken in changing and defining our labor, utility. agricultural, tax policies. etc. That school is very evident in the current congress. It may not; yet be big enough to get its ideasi reflected in law—it is big enough toi prevent the passage of any addi tional “radical" legislation, and it is also big enough to stand as an im posing barrier between the more leftish New Dealers and the attain ment or their more extreme object ives. . There is an important “practical political” factor here, too. By and lame, Congressmen, like state leg islators and city councilman, vote as they think their constituents wont than to vote.

When Mr. Roosevelt’s popular ity was at its height, it was polit ical suicide to oppose any part of the New Deal program, and most Congressmen acted accordingly. To day there is apparently a shift in public sentiment, judging by the standard polls- of public opinion, in the conservative direction, and this is giving heart to Congressmen who‘ have been sitting on the fence, hold-1 ing tight to their jobs. What will come out of all this— and out of the growing under ground war between the President on the one hand, and the conserva ‘tive Democrats led by Garner and Harrison, on the other—isn’t safe to forecast. But it throws an in: teresting light on conditions.

We rather like bowing to a mouse and a wooden dummy than to a soldier. We would rather smell the flowers with Ferdinand than watch the marching feet. WITH JUSTICE We are apt to overlook real-life drama. while we read of tales of adventure. The true story of a chief of a police force. who had served eleven months in a penitentiary for embezzlement fifteen years before he served as a police officer makes good reading. This man after ser-l ving his prison sentence in one state, went to another to live. Here‘ he won the respect of the citizens and eventually became chief of the police department. As such things so, one day the people were made aware of the previous record of their chief. In many communities this would have been the end of the story.

[mm SPEECH Americans pride themselves upon their Bill of Rights, which gives [them the previlige of free speech. And there are but few Americans 'who do not exercise the privilege land many who abuse it. There was a recent meeting in New York andl several other large cities, where pro- Nazi Germans gathered to instigate and excite class hatred. The meet ing was held without objection of the public officials and there was slight interference by outside forces. There are many public-minded Americans who object to such a gathering. Of course, we must re member that another Americanism is the right of assembly and to pre vent it would be to play into alien hands. One cannot be surprised it citizens do make a demonstration against such a group, with such a purpose. America has been very lenient in allowing . utterances against their government, but they will not take too much. They real ize that each man has the right to state his opinions regarding na tional conditions, but will these Americans remain passive when a meeting tries to destroy a govern ment where free speech is made possible? What to do in the matter or permitting such gatherings is a real problem for public officials to I solve. The best way to convert a govern ment ownership of business addict is to have the government set into the line of business in which he is making his living, and in which he :has his capital invested. He then sees the matter in its true light. 1 Kansas. which for the past two years has employed the token method in the collection of the sales tax, will abandon the plan July 1, and collect the tax by the bracketl system. The difference is that un der the token system it was possible to collect the exact amount of the two percent tax.
